PROCESS HEATERS AND FURNACES

Process heaters and furnaces allow fuel and air to react together , producing extremely high gas temperatures . They use large quantities of fuel , generate emissions and can create a safety hazard for plant and personnel alike .
Optimization of the air-to-fuel ratio is key to controlling combustion in process heaters and furnaces . Using excess oxygen ( air ) leads to cooler burning , significantly reducing efficiency and increasing emissions .
However , a low-oxygen , fuel-rich situation is potential source of explosions .
Keeping the combustion reaction at the optimum point ensures safe operation while reducing both fuel costs and emissions .
